Do these count as family pictures...

Family pictures in my mind were always horribly inconvenient, boring (as a child), yet chaotic. They always had to be in a studio, or shot on location somewhere far away and more beautiful then the backyard (which could have easily worked). They were usually only taken on special occasions like weddings. Then they never turned out as good as the effort put into them to be taken, and the money they cost.

We stopped by our friend Aprils house after church a couple weeks ago and said, "hop in the van and come take our pictures". She grabbed her camera and off we went...to a brick wall down the street of a building that got knocked down.

No appointment.

No sitting fee.

No matching outfits.

No crazy photographer with wild artsy ideas.

No 6-8 weeks to develop.

This was fun!

Thanks April!

The really good ones are on our Christmas cards!
